Doctor Perrotto is an amazing doctor. He has taken care of my horrible stomach issues for over 25 years. He sees my children as well. He is always so kind and makes me feel so comfortable. I couldn't imagine having to be treated by any other GI doctor. I can't even begin to thank him for all he has done for me and my children over the years. He's such a smart man. I would and have recommended him to many people. THE BEST!!!!

Been a patient of Dr. Perrotto for over 30 years and he is "The Best" doctor I have ever been to in my life. I am 70 years old. I hope he never retires. He also has a great sense of humor. Well liked by his staff.

I have been a patient of Dr. Perratto for 18 years. I have tried visiting other GI doctors due to Dr. Perratto being 45 mins away. I could not find another doctor that I have felt as comfortable with. He has taken such great care of rover the years. I will never see another GI doctor.

I have known Dr Perrotta since the early 70's. I met him at Mass General when he was doing research on Chrons Disease. He is the most compassionate, understanding and knowledgable Dr. I have ever met. Always "makes" time. He has been a Blessing to me and my family.
